FAIRVIEW MANOR
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Fairview Manor has a Trust Grade of C, which means it is average and falls in the middle of the pack among nursing homes. It ranks #418 out of 653 facilities in Pennsylvania, placing it in the bottom half, and #15 out of 18 in Erie County, indicating there are better options nearby. Unfortunately, the facility is worsening, with issues increasing from 1 in 2024 to 6 in 2025. Staffing is a significant concern, with a poor rating of 1 out of 5 stars and a turnover rate of 54%, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, there have been specific incidents such as staff not providing adequate nursing coverage for 21 days, residents complaining about staff being noisy and unprofessional, and failure to maintain proper hand hygiene during meal preparation, which raises concerns about overall care quality.

What Should Families Ask When Visiting Fairview Manor?
Based on this facility's data, families visiting should ask: "Can you walk me through typical staffing levels on day, evening, and night shifts?" "Can I visit during a mealtime to observe dining assistance and food quality?" "How do you handle medical emergencies, and what is your hospital transfer rate?" "Can I speak with family members of current residents about their experience?" These questions are particularly relevant given the below-average staffing rating.
Is Fairview Manor Safe?
Based on CMS inspection data, FAIRVIEW MANOR has a clean safety record: no substantiated abuse findings (meaning no confirmed cases of resident harm), no Immediate Jeopardy citations (the most serious violation level indicating risk of serious injury or death), and is not on the Special Focus Facility watch list (a federal program monitoring the lowest-performing 1% of nursing homes). The facility has a 2-star overall rating and ranks #100 of 100 nursing homes in Pennsylvania. While no facility is perfect, families should still ask about staff-to-resident ratios and recent inspection results during their visit.
Do Nurses at Fairview Manor Stick Around?
FAIRVIEW MANOR has a staff turnover rate of 54%, which is 8 percentage points above the Pennsylvania average of 46%. Moderate turnover is common in nursing homes, but families should still ask about staff tenure and how the facility maintains care continuity when employees leave.
Was Fairview Manor Ever Fined?
FAIRVIEW MANOR has been fined $7,443 across 1 penalty action. This is below the Pennsylvania average of $33,153. While any fine indicates a compliance issue, fines under $50,000 are relatively common and typically reflect isolated problems that were subsequently corrected. Families should ask what specific issues led to these fines and confirm they've been resolved.
Is Fairview Manor on Any Federal Watch List?
FAIRVIEW MANOR is not on any federal watch list. The most significant is the Special Focus Facility (SFF) program, which identifies the bottom 1% of nursing homes nationally based on persistent, serious quality problems. Not being on this list means the facility has avoided the pattern of deficiencies that triggers enhanced federal oversight. This is a positive indicator, though families should still review the facility's inspection history directly.
